Piping System Information
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specifications may change without notification.
©LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ. All rights reserved. “LG” is a registered trademark of LG Corp.
LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., is not responsible for any piping calculations, refrigerant leaks, degradation of performance, or
any other potential problems or damages as a result of interconnecting piping, their joint connections, isolation valves, intro-
duced debris inside the piping system, or other problems caused by the interconnecting piping system.
Always check for system refrigerant leaks after the unit has been installed or serviced.
Low refrigerant levels will cause product failure.
Do not make refrigerant substitutions. Use R410A only.
If a different refrigerant is used, or air mixes with original refrigerant, the unit will malfunction and damage will occur.
Refrigerant Piping Installation
This product is designed to work with refrigerant R410A. Always follow proper instructions to perform installation procedures.
• Be sure to use the specified refrigerant during refrigerant circulation and prevent air from contaminating the refrigerant.
Always check for system refrigerant leaks after the unit has been installed or serviced.
Exposure to high concentration levels of refrigerant gas will lead to illness or death.
If refrigerant leaks out, ventilate the area before operating the unit.
If the unit is mounted in an enclosed, low-lying, or poorly ventilated area, and the system develops a refrigerant leak, it will cause a fire, electric
shock, explosion, physical injury or death.
Selecting Field-Supplied Copper Piping
Always follow local codes when selecting and installing copper pipe and piping system components.
Approved piping for use with Multi V products will be marked “R410 RATED” along the length of the pipe. Piping wall thickness must meet
local code requirements and be approved for a maximum operating pressure of 551 psi. When bending piping, try to keep the number of
bends to a minimum, and use the largest radii possible to reduce the equivalent length of installed piping; also, bending radii greater than
ten (10) piping diameters can minimize pressure drop. Be sure no traps or sags are present.
LG prefers the use of hard drawn copper in pipe segments when connecting a Split Rooftop Unit product and an outdoor unit.
•
Always reference the LATS HVAC software report.
•
Use only the pipe size selected by the LATS HVAC design software. Using a different size will result in a system malfunction or system
failure.
•
Larger-capacity outdoor units must be the main in a multi-frame system.
• Main outdoor unit capacity must be greater than or equal to the sub 1 outdoor unit capacity, and, where applicable, sub 1 outdoor unit
capacity must be greater than or equal to the sub 2 outdoor unit capacity.
• Connection piping from branch to branch cannot exceed the main pipe diameter (A) used by the outdoor unit.
•
Other indoor units cannot be connected with Split Rooftop Units.
•
Header branches cannot be installed with Split Rooftop Units.
•
Multi V DOAS units and Multi V indoor units cannot be combined in the same installation.
